NOTE: The 2008 file includes utility and nonutility fuel receipts data from Schedule 2 of the new Form EIA-923. It is formatted in the same manner as the EIA-423 data has been formatted, except for 2 columns that were added to the end – “Total Cost” and “Regulatory Status.” The former is the total delivered cost of the fuel for utility plants only. Nonutility plants will have a blank because those data are protected.
Monthly Fuel Receipts and Fuel Quality Database
The following files for 2002 through 2007 contain data on monthly deliveries of fossil fuels to nonutility generating facilities. These data were collected on the Form EIA-423 which came into existence in January 2002. Included are the specific energy source, quantity of fuel delivered, the Btu content, sulfur content, ash content, coal mine state and county (or country) of origin, coal mine type (surface/underground), as well as the supplier of the fuel. Fuel cost data collected on this survey will not be made available to the public because it is protected.
The files beginning in 2008 contain data on monthly deliveries of fossil fuels to both utility and nonutility generating facilities. These data are collected on Schedule 2 of the new Form EIA-923. (Prior to 2008, utility fuel receipts data were collected on the FERC Form 423. See http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/page/ferc423.html.)
The data files include plants with a fossil-fueled nameplate generating capacity of 50 or more megawatts. If a plant in the frame of the survey does not appear in a particular month, either they have reported “no activity” or they are a non-respondent and we are in the process of obtaining their data. Please contact the survey manager (see below) if you believe a plant has been omitted from the database.
All data are available in excel format, in DBF format, and in a compressed self-extracting (e423yyyy.exe)* zip file. This zip file expands into one DBF file (e423yyyy.dbf)* that contains the monthly data and an ASCII text file (e423lay.txt) that gives the file description and record layout for the data base structure.
*Note: Substitute the applicable year for "yyyy" in the file name.
